Abstract

The issue of food waste is currently a concern for various groups in the world. The availability of large amounts of food waste can be caused by consumption patterns by individuals who tend to be consumptive which are not balanced with food waste management. Efforts to reduce food waste can be linked to the application of ecological literacy in food waste management as well as regulating consumption patterns at the household scale. Therefore, this study aims to describe the implementation of food waste management by households and develop recommendations for developing food waste management that refers to ecological literacy. This study used an exploratory mixed method design with locations in Klojen and Sukun Sub-districts, Malang City, East Java, which were based on population density, household waste production, and recommendations from the Malang City Environmental Agency. The results showed that the implementation of food waste management in the aspects of planning, purchasing, cooking, and final disposal was categorized as good, the aspects of storage, consumption, and handling were categorized as fair, and the aspects of energy recovery were categorized as poor. The implementation of ecological literacy related to food waste management is categorized in good condition in all aspects. Strengthening the principles of ecological literacy at the household scale is done through the provision of waste banks and organizing competitions between households in food waste management to support sustainable food waste management.
